Andy Taylor is the widower sheriff of the small, sleepy North Carolina town of Mayberry. Andy and son Opie live with Aunt Bee, who takes care of the family. Andy's deputy is his bumbling but neurotically hilarious cousin, Barney Fife. Among Andy's Mayberry friends is the town's resident barber, Floyd.
Andy looks forward to eating a few snacks and spending an evening alone in the house; but he finds he must eat three spaghetti dinners cooked by three thoughtful friends.
Andy visits Barney at the Raleigh police department and makes a hero out of his bumbling former deputy.
Detective Barney Fife, of the big city police department, pays a visit to his old hometown Mayberry; he goes to the premiere of a former girlfriend's movie.
Andy's perennial romance with Helen is jolted a bit when Andy's old high school sweetheart moves back to town.
